Second order from Enel Russia

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has secured a second order from Enel Russia (www.siemensgamesa.com).

This covers the supply, installation and commissioning of 57 Siemens Gamesa 3.X platform turbines (with a total capacity of 210MW) at the Kola wind farm in the Murmansk region — due to be commissioned in 2021.

The contract also includes operation and maintenance services during the first two years, with an option to extend.

This is part of an agreement signed with Enel in 2017 for the supply of 291MW of capacity to two wind farms in Russia.

The first order — 90MW of capacity for the Azovskaya project — was announced by Siemens Gamesa in early October.

Russia’s target is to have 3.3GW of wind-power installed capacity by 2024.

Steven Pryor at SGRE said: “We are proud to announce this second big contract in Russia and to continue the successful co-operation with Enel.

“Siemens Gamesa is well on the way to establishing a strong position in the growing Russian renewables market.

“We have introduced modern technology, and we have taken important steps to ensure local content.”
